Generate Barcode Labels on the Web
- Select single or multiple items/folders and then tap on the Generate Label button:
- Once you indicate you want to "Create Label," you will be taken to the steps where you pick the paper size and label size.
- Select Paper Size. Sortly will recommend the correct Avery label sheets based on your selections for paper size and label size. You can purchase the blank (pre-cut) label sticker sheet through Amazon by clicking on the link (if needed).
- Select Label Size. For printing barcodes on standard laser printers, you will only be able to print in the medium or small label size. Unlike QR code generation for printers, you will not be able to include additional item details, item photos, company logo, or additional notes with your barcodes.
- Once you've selected your paper size and label size, please click Next.
- Then, select your Printing Options:
Label quantity: Print multiples of the same labels
Label start position: If you have a partially used sheet of labels, select where you'd like printing to begin to reduce label waste.
Printing Instructions: Check whether you'd like to have a sheet with label instructions generated within the PDF.
Send copy to email: We recommend having a copy of the PDF you generate sent to your email for future printing needs.
Click Create Label and a PDF of your labels will be downloaded. You will then open the PDF and print out the labels onto Avery paper using your standard printer or label printer.

Reprinting Existing Barcodes
When reprinting existing Barcodes, the label itself will not change (meaning the Barcode), but you can adjust the label's size and information and even add custom notes to the label.
To reprint a barcode, follow the same steps you would to create the label.
